Get up and climb aboard,
Another Train.”

Kevin Dickinson:
“3 brilliant critical thinking tools used by Daniel Dennett”

S. Chris Edmonds:
“Senior leaders drive your culture” (11-26-24.

Maksim Rudnev and Igor Grossmann:
“Wisdom is a virtue, but how do we judge if someone has it?“
“Our findings revealed that, when people make judgments about wisdom, they are essentially linking wisdom to two key dimensions that we call reflective orientation and socio-emotional awareness. ….
….
….. Our participants rated the hypothetical characters as most wise when they scored high on both dimensions.”
